Defiant and frustrated, President Barack Obama aggressively challenged Republicans Thursday to get behind his jobs plan or explain why not, declaring that if Congress fails to act "the American people will run them out of town."
The president used a White House news conference to attempt to heighten the pressure he's sought to create on the GOP by traveling around the country, into swing states and onto the home turf of key Republican foes including House Speaker John Boehner and Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
Giving a bit of ground on his own plan, he endorsed a new proposal by Senate Democrats to tax millionaires to pay for his jobs program. "This is not a game," he said.
Obama made no apologies for his decision to abandon seeking compromise with Republicans in favor of assailing them, sometimes by name. He contended that he'd gone out of his way to try to work with the GOP since becoming president, reaching hard-fought deals to raise the government's borrowing limit and avert a government shutdown, and had gotten nothing in return.

Dear mR. illegal immigran Zero:
Go
Pound
Sand!
Obama’s teleprompter must have a virus as it seems to be running about 24 hours slow.
Why not? Because there isn't any jobs bill. Neither the House, or the Senate have an actual bill to even talk about, much less pass.
We need theSenate Democraps who say they wont vote for this to hold their line: Nelson, Lieberman, Webb, Tester, Manchin.(and others?). If they buckle, lets make sure they pay in November (except Lieberman and Webb ?, who is out)
Because it sucks just as much as the other ones.
Last I heard the bill didn’t have a debtocrat co-sponsor also. Mr. Obama feels it is appropriate to purposely mislead his consitituents. Transparency I guess.
The people in the Wall Street protest need to go get a job and if they can't find a job then they need to blame Obama, not investors trying to make a buck.
You would think this so-called constitutional professor would know the concept of co-equal branches of government. He is not in charge of the legislative branch. What a dillhole.
Didn’t know a bill hadn’t even been submitted - if that’s the case, where the hell are the pubbies in calling this clown out?
Call him a socialist or Marxist or Communist or moslem or whatever. The bottom line is that he is intentionally destroying this republic!
Scuse me, but didn’t the “one” tell the Republicans to pound sand on the stimulus bill? Didn’t that get passed with only Demonrat support and with out debate or time to read it?
Hardly called working with them...
Because the enterprising young reporter probably approves of Obama and will vote for him.
Because the enterprising young reporter works for a news organization with a liberal view, and he/she doesn’t want to make waves or hurt his/her own career.
Because the reporter doesn’t want to deal with IRS audits or other harrassment which he/she finds suddenly coming up.
I’m sure there are other reasons why reporters go easy on Obama.
Harry Reid blocks Obama’s Kill-More-Jobs Bill in the Senate.
Not ONE Democrat member of the House is willing to bring it to the floor.
Yet, somehow, it’s all the GOP’s fault?
And the media doesn’t even dare to question that lie.
SERIOUSLY FOLKS, how did we get to this point?
Well, maybe they need an old I-don’t-give-a-crap reporter to ask the same question......or Chris Wallace.
Hey, Obama...how's that first stimulus working out?
